The sky came closer in an instant. The distance is close enough to make you wonder if you could reach it if you stretched out your hand.
Blue sky.
With the temperature dropping significantly, the cool wind violently shakes the hem of the robe.
Flutter, flutter-.
Clouds were flowing below the snow level. A feeling of floating that makes you dizzy for a moment.
Russell raised his eyes in surprise.
It was not simply because it soared vertically toward the high sky.
Ever since I discovered Cloudy Ring’s new ability, I thought something like this would be possible.
Nevertheless, the reason Russell was surprised. That’s right-.
‘With just that small leap… … .’
The height that was soared by such an insignificant leap was absurd.
I thought it would soar high, but I never thought it would reach this height.
‘Maybe it’s because of those clouds.’
When I looked down a little, I saw a pure white cloud firmly supporting my feet.
To be precise, it felt like I was standing on clouds.
When I turned over and straightened my balance, I could clearly see the world beneath my feet.
The walls of the royal capital were built high, and the four magic towers soared as if to protect the royal capital.
And even the citizens of the royal capital wandering around on the well-maintained streets. Russell felt an overwhelming sense of elation at the sight of them looking as small as ants.
Moreover, Cloudy Ring’s true ability was not leaping ability.
Wow-
The moment Shinhyeong finally soars to the top, the gravity that starts from the ground wraps around his body like a chain.
If you stay like this, you will definitely not be able to overcome gravity and fall to the ground!
‘then-.’
Just as the fall began, Russell moved his ankle.
I bounced my toes as if I was kicking the empty air.
That moment
────────────!
The air burst out.
Russell’s falling body soared up once again.
At a speed exceeding the speed of sound, a shock wave explodes before the sound.
Kwagwagwagwa!
White cloud marks were etched along Russell’s soaring orbit.
The movement was much easier than when I first tried it, and in terms of simply flying ability, it was superior to fly or levitation magic.
Of course it’s fast -.
‘-There is no need to reduce momentum when turning.’
All that was needed was a body strong enough to withstand the pressure of that moment.
This was the first ability of Summersault Form, Cloudy Ring.
‘Of course, the drawback is that it consumes a lot of magical energy.’
I never thought that this much mana would be consumed just by kicking the ground and the air, at most twice.
If you consider the amount of horsepower used in actual combat, once.
Or, at best, it was highly likely that it would be difficult to use it more than to catch them off guard twice.
‘Then next time-.’
Cloudy Ring.
Weather Form.
‘Thunderclouds!’
Weather Form is a fragment of a cloud serpent’s wing, and the climate control ability of Cloud Jade was manifested through the Cloudy Ring.
Kurrrrrr-.
The sky is shaking and clouds are gathering together.
Then the gathering clouds merged with the things supporting the feet.
In an instant, it swells in size and casts a dark shadow over the area with a menacing force.
“Hoo?”
Daria, who was watching the scene from below, sparkled her eyes with interest.
The time it took for a cloud large enough to cover the entire lake to form was literally an instant.
The speed was more than twice as fast as the 7th Circle Master’s climate control magic.
If you could pour out a large army’s magic at this speed, it would not only be possible to annihilate an entire army in an instant, but it would also be possible to destroy a castle in one fell swoop.
Moreover, the completed Geoun (巨雲) was not an ordinary cloud.
Rumble, rumble, rumble.
It was a thundercloud containing lightning. It was unusual to see bright blue lightning continuously shining over the lake.
It was clear that if he kept stamping his feet like this, the gathered lightning would rain down on the lake.
Judging by the scale of the lightning or magical power that is glimpsed through the clouds, if it were to pour down, it would be powerful enough to evaporate a significant portion of the water in the lake!
However.
‘─Ugh.’
Russell couldn’t produce magic. Before pouring out anything, a feeling of extreme helplessness came along with dizziness.
‘The magic consumption is too high.’

Russell gritted his teeth as his mana quickly ran out.
The thundercloud supporting my feet also disappeared in an instant.
From the moment I punched the air with Summersault Form, I felt like the magic consumption was quite high, but I never thought it would be this much as soon as I switched to Weather Form.
‘I guess that means controlling the climate isn’t that easy.’
Sighing, Russell turned over.
He corrected his falling body and gathered his magic power.
Although I felt a little dizzy, it wasn’t so much that I couldn’t use ‘Levitation’.
chin-.
But before that, there was someone supporting Russell’s body from the side.
“Are you okay?”
It was Daria.
As soon as the thunderclouds covering the lake disappear. Sensing something was wrong with her, she launched her body into the air and supported her Russell.
Russell lowered his head with a slightly embarrassed expression due to his teacher’s unexpected support.
“yes. “Master.”
Tsutsutsutsutsu-.
Slowly reducing the speed, Daria’s new model slowly begins to descend with Russell supported.
“Aerial leap and super acceleration. And climate control… … “I know the approximate ability, but it seems like the magic consumption is quite high.”
“yes.”
Even that was a shame because Russell had magical powers that were more than twice as pure as others.
If it had been anyone else, they wouldn’t have been able to even properly create a thundercloud. However, that was by no means a basis for comforting myself or feeling relieved about my abilities.
‘In the end, the fact that I failed to use magic doesn’t change.’
With that thought, their feet touched the floor.
widely-.
As if she had read her student’s thoughts, Daria smiled and recited.
“I have acquired an item that exceeds my capabilities, so I will have to work diligently to handle it. “You’re the youngest.”
Seeing his teacher giggling and giving advice, Russell could only smile bitterly and nod.

The 6th basement floor of the museum and the royal treasury.
Despite completing two big schedules, Russell’s daily life did not get any easier.
Rather, it was becoming more ambitious.
It has to be that way.
There were many things Russell had to do now.
Not only was he given large and small missions as the War Mage of the Flame Tower, but he also had to spend time as a member of the royal family and the princess’s fiancé.
‘Still, are you glad that Hecate’s mood has eased a little?’
Hecate was in a bad mood for a few days because of the necklace she received from Muyaho.
How much effort did he make to visit Hecate whenever he had time to ease her mood.
Russell laughed lightly as he recalled the efforts he made at the time.
‘She is the Iron Blood Princess in front of others, but she only shows that side to me sometimes.’
Of course, Russell himself did not feel that Hecate’s appearance was very bad.
‘Oops.’
Feeling that he had lost his concentration after a moment of wandering thoughts, Russell got up from his seat.
“Grunt.”
He moved his body around with a groaning sound.
Boom, boom, boom.
Every time I relax my shoulders and turn my back, the sound of bones, big and small, echoes everywhere.
Russell muttered as he checked the sound.
‘I guess I’ll live a little longer.’
When I open the window, cool night air pours into the lab.
Hahahaha!
The panoramic view of the Wangdo sky covered in the thick darkness of the night caught my eye.
Not only that, but on the night streets of the royal road below, shops that appear to be bars light up one by one.
It was already night.
‘The last time I woke up was around lunchtime…’
I had been sitting in my seat without moving for almost eight hours.
‘And yet it’s only twenty pages.’
In terms of efficiency, it’s probably a little over two pages per hour.
Russell let out a shaky breath as he looked at the pile of papers and essence of earth magic still piled up in front of him.
‘If I had just briefly grasped the key points and moved on, it wouldn’t have taken this long… … .’
Trying to understand all the theories and essence contained within it is bound to be slow.
‘It would be nice to have someone to help me.’
The question was who to get help from.
The first person that comes to mind is his teacher, Daria Snowwhite.
Although he is the owner of the Flame Tower and a wizard who is considered the pinnacle of fire magic, he must also have quite a bit of skill in earth magic as he is in the 8th circle.
But-.
‘Honestly, it won’t be easy.’
Contrary to how relaxed he seemed every time we met, Russell also knew very well how busy being the owner of the Flame Tower was.
In the midst of all this, he was a teacher who even took the time to help me with my training for several hours every week.
‘I can’t take more of Master’s time.’
Of course, if you ask, I won’t refuse.
‘Someone who has an extensive understanding of earth attribute magic, and has a level of 6th circle or higher.’
The next thing that came to mind was Niccolò Machiavelli, the owner of the Wangdu Emperor Tower.
Since Endymion is the best earth magic expert, you will be able to improve your understanding more quickly if you get help from him.
Soon Russell shook his head.
‘Nicolo is definitely a good person, but we don’t have that great of a friendship.’
Moreover, considering her status as the owner of the Emperor’s Tower, she must be spending days similar to those of her teacher, Daria Snowwhite.
‘Not having a wide network of connections becomes a problem in times like this.’
Russell, who was laughing at his narrow network of contacts, soon went down to the first floor.
“Uh, Senior Russell?”
Seeing Russell approaching him, the new wizard in charge of the front desk opened his mouth in confusion.
From her point of view, as she had just entered the Pagoda of Flame, Russell was not only a great senior, but also a windbreaker who caused many rumors.
Regardless, Russell opened his mouth in a calm voice.
“Could you please receive a list of mages of Circle 6 or higher who belong to the Emperor’s Tower?”
I asked her for a favor.
No one would know anyway, but I was just wondering if it was possible.
“Now, just a moment!”
She quickly lowered her head and opened the magic tower’s directory.
He took out a piece of paper and started writing down a few names on it.
Square, square-.
It didn’t take that long.
No matter how powerful the Royal Capital Tower was, the number of Circle 6 wizards was not that large.
“Woah, here it is. Seniors.”
Soon, the requested list was handed over to Russell.
‘uh?’
Russell, who was quickly checking the name, blinked.
One familiar name was included in the list.
wizard who swallowed a dragon
